Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

BACK FROM HURRICANE COUNTRY

Which is more difficult -- packing or unpacking? We're home and I hope to catch up on my blog reading then will tell about our trip. It was GREAT!Meanwhile, my condolences to Lucy and others who experienced Hurricane Ike. Many of our friends at the reunion were from the Houston area and all had tales of woe and tales of terror but most were as blessed as Lucy and their main trauma was being without power. Needless to say, no one from Galveston was there. Whew, they have a lot ahead of them. We also heard from survivors of the aftermath of Ike who live in Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.Yes, these military families had a few political discussions too but I'll not share those. Use your imaginations:-)Did you miss me? I missed all of my blog mates and realized how addicted I am to blogging when I found myself quoting many of you on our trip. LOL

Yes Annie, you were missed....I am sure that your relatives in the pathway of IKE had plenty of stories to tell. We haven't had anything like that in a long time around here.

Glad I missed the politics during the storm. People were out there living real life and I don't think many of them missed politics too much, I know I didn't. I will be so glad when this election is over. Hint: Glad the "bailout" failed.

Thanks Nancy. I read your post on TGB today and smiled and smiled. I've been staying away from there until after the Presidential election but had to go see what you had to say. So glad I did. I just love you to death!

Gary, thanks for missing me. I've been trying to figure out following and followers since you posted about it but I'm not getting it done right or something.

Scarlet, it is to funny because this is the first year I told my reunion friends about my nudes and when I told them I drew the group picture of the women from a couple of years ago and drew all the women naked, they all loved the idea and wanted to see the drawing. LOL

Oh my Lucy, you were sure on my mind every step of the way and I told quite a few about your experiences. It kind of put me "in the know". Still so glad all is well for you and yours.

The blogosphere was a bit dull with your absence. Glad you're back, as I'm a fan!

We got nothing here in Atlanta from IKE except a gasoline shortage of epic proportions. It has been difficult, but some of the antics that have gone on would make a great story line...you know, sort of like Animal House or Keystone Cops! Luckily, I also have public transportation which I've been using. Man o' man, am I out of shape!!! "They" are predicting it'll be over by Columbus Day.

About Me

Favorite quote by Angie Worth: "Faith is what holds us together while religion tears us apart."
ABOUT ME: I avoid the news. I have turned off my political upheaval. My days of political activisim are supposed to be over. My hands have been thrown up in surrender and I try to be the best wife, mom, grandma, sibling and chicken farmer that I can be. "I am alive, I am alive by God's grace, I am living in God's care."
